Posted on Degenerate State, the scientist (named Iain) went onto “the largest metal lyrics archive on the web,” otherwise known as DarkLyrics.com, and trawled through the database of 222,623 songs by 7,634 bands.

After this, Iain compared the data with the Brown Corpus – a 50+ year old readable database of over one million English words filed by topical relevance – and came out with a top 20 most and least metal words.
